Abstract

A new bioluminescent creatine kinase (CK) assay using purified luciferase was used to analyse CK activity in serum samples dried on filter paper. Enzyme activity was preserved for over 1 wk on paper stored at room temperature. At 60̊C, CK activity in liquid serum samples was rapidly inactivated, but the activity of enzyme stored on paper was preserved for at least 2 days.
